How to Setup Radio Server With Shoutcast

Hello everyone, Today we are going to learn how to make a Shoutcast Radio server. To Start the Radio Server we need a VPS or Dedicated Server or any Home server with Real IP/Dedicated IP. For Home Server, You will need the Good Internet Speed That can Pass Min. 160KPBS Speed or 60KHz.

So let’s Start

We will use the Centos for Our Server OS. You can Buy VPS server and Dedicated Server from Online.

VPS or Dedicated and Home Server Config:

OS must be x64bit 4GB Ram, Two Core Server 100Mbit or 1Gbit Port, 80GB HDD or SSD(You can Max More if you store something in the online If you are Windows Server User) But In Here we will see for Linux. In Next Video We will see How to Setup in Windows.

SO for Setup, We are Using CENTOS Now. Let’s Start

Open Your server with SSH or VNC. Login as Root.

yum update -y (Update Your OS)

yum install nano -y (Install the nano in the server)

yum install firewalld -y (Install the firewall)

service firewalld start (Start the firewalld)

Now go http://download.nullsoft.com/shoutcast/tools/ from your browser select the latest version of the shoutcast. Copy the Link and go back to server

Use Control+O, Then Press Enter to Save and Control+X to Exit From the NANO Text Editor

Now Change the Permission mode of the sc_serv file using this command(chmod +x sc_serv)

now check is there any kind of port are running with 8000 by using this command(netstat -tulpn | grep sc_serv)

OK. Now we are Ready. You should remember we have started the firewalld. So we need to add the 8000 port to open for radio server.

Use this command for open the port for radio server (firewall-cmd –add-port=8000/tcp –permanent)

Now reload the firewalld to take an effect by using this command(firewall-cmd –reload)

Now start the Shoutcast server by using this command(./sc_serv &)

Now open your IP in the browser with the port of 8000 like this (http://192.168.0.1:8000)

Now You will see your server is live now. But You can’t Stream the Audio Yet. Because You Don’t have auth hash Yet to make it Live So Let’s Get it. Click on Server Login

Enter the Username: admin and Password: password
